Police are appealing for two taxi drivers to come forward after a 19-year-old woman was allegedly raped in Kingston University student accommodation after visiting Pryzm nightclub.

A 21-year-old man has been arrested and bailed over the alleged sexual offence.

The woman reported being raped in the early hours of Thursday, November 12, after visiting Pryzm nightclub in Clarence Street and being driven to the student accommodation in a taxi.

Described as white with ginger hair and wearing a black dress, the woman is believed to have been travelling with a 'middle eastern' man in his 20s – wearing a black jumper - in a white taxi just after 2.30am.

The Metropolitan Police are also looking for a second taxi driver who picked up the victim and two other women from outside the Metro Bank in Eden Street earlier that night at about 11.45pm.

The driver took the women to Pryzm nightclub after making a detour to one of their homes to collect ID. He drove a silver taxi.
